Forecasts

Kondratiev Wave (4/1), Breath Of Joy (5/1), Nigel Nott (5/1), Batchelor Boy (11/2), Clareyblue (17/2), Full Authority (9/1), Top Breeze (10/1), Last Surprise (12/1), Al Dawodiya (22/1), Diamond Dougal (22/1), A Sure Welcome (33/1), Saaheq (50/1)

BREATH OF JOY looks the way to go here as she is a sprinter on the up so is fancied to defy a 7 lb rise for her taking Pontefract success and claim victory number three for the season. Clareyblue is sure to make his presence felt from a handy mark, while Nigel Nott is worth considering too on his second run for Mick Appleby.
